The State of Trade.

NEW YORK, March 11.-R. G..
Dun & Co., in their weekly review Of
trade say: The past week has been
one Of great excitement among rail.

been what may be called liars. the
market f1uctuating wildly with fatty
contradictory statements sent out
every day. Cotton was also active.
advancing quarter, Coffee closes as
it hogan, as does oil, with sales of
100000 barrels. Provisions and
cattle are stronger. Wool was weak.
cOmbings as well as fine wool yield
ing to a reduced demand. In all
markets for securities the great bar
gain for the control of the Baltimore
and Ohio absorbs attention. From
conflicting reports there emerges Il
suspicsOn that the transaction pend
ing is in the na ure of contract for
running arrangements, and not for
actual sale, having for its chief pur.
pose the evasion Of the Interstate
Commerce act. A complete bargain
of the kind reported would lift prices
and create demand for some im.
portant stocks.
Wheat seemed to be "cornered'
at Chicago early in the week. An
immense combination which is said
to hold over 10000. 900 bushels seemed
to be selling out Thursday. War
rumors were employed as usual, tut
with little effect. The exports for the
previous week. equal 3,437, 156 bush
els of wheat from the chief Atlantic
ports. but the purchases for export. a
very different matter, have been
small since the price advanced. With
more than 00.000000 bushels in the
country in excess of all home needs
for the crop year the chances of u
successful corner are not hattering.
The sales reached $4,000, 900 bushels
when the prices rose about 9 cents for
the week. These towering specnla-
tions with the prevailing real estate
deal come at bad time.
The iron market has a weaker look.
The weakness in wool and woolens

DR.. McGlynn on MIR. Beecher.

Atthe evening service in Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, almost every de-
nomination was present and spoke
in eulogy of the late Henry Ward
Beecher. The Rev. H. S. Halliday
conducted the service, and read the
following letter from Rev. DR.. Nc.
Glynn. the deposed priest of st.
Stephens Church, New YORK:
March 10, 18S7.-Rey. and Dear
Mr.. Halliday; 1 regret very much
that I cannot be present this evening
at the meeting in Plymouth Church
to honor the memory of the great
pastor and to condole for the irrepar.
able loss. l must, therefore. content
myself with saying briefly in writing
what should be glad to say more full
~ in speech.
1t is sign of the dawning of the
better day for which the world has so
long yearned that such meeting
should be possible, and that you and
yours should 80 earnestly desire the
presence ola clergyman of that church
which seems so remote-and too
many would say so antagonistic-to
yours. Foremost in the work of hast
ening the coming of the better day
was the great man whose death we
mourn and for whose work we give
thanks.
None other so we'll as he taught
the man and land of his time to exaIt
the essential of religion. pure and
undefiled, in which we all agree, and
to minimize the differences that seem
to seperate us. To him was given to
see with clearer vision, to reveal the
unequaled genius, and. with tireless
energy, to make common among
men the meaning Of Him who taught
of old on the mount and by the sea-
shore, the core of all religion, the
brotherhood of man.
I cheerfully confess that from Mr..
Beecher l learned from the first days
of my ministry a new tenderness
and fnllness of meaning in the "Our
Father" and l am glad to be able
here to state that the theology of the
old church agrees with his in this
that the essence of religion is in com.
munion with God through the love
of Him for His own sake, and in low.
ing all men with the zest with which
we love ourselves. and that sacrifice
and sacrament. creed and ritual,
prayer and sermon and song may be
and are powerful helps and necessary
manifestations of this religion, which
is love. Without it they are hut
mockery and blasphemy. 1 thank

A Baltimore Sun Washington spe-
cial, dated March 18th, says: "The
Mexican war survivors and widows
of soldiers in that war, who have
been facilitating themselves on the
apparent speedy realization of their
long deferred hopes of a pension, will
be somewhat chagrined to learn that
no definite period can now be fixed
when their cases will receive atten-
ton by the pension Office. 1t is esti-
mated that those affected by the pro-
visions of the Mexican pension bill
are about 10000, and if Mr.. Randall
had allowed the increase of the cleri-
cal force in the pension Office which
was asked for. it was believed that
these eases could all have been heard
and determined in three or four
months. Now it cannot be done for
year to come, even if the Fiftieth
Congress is permitted by Mr.. Ran
dali to make the appropriation asked
of the Forty-ninth Congress. 1t is
held at the pension Office that it will
be simply impossible to take up the
Mexican pension cases until addi-
ional force is given the Office, for the
accumulation of existing business is
tremendous. and as matter of JUS
tice it must all be disposed of before
new set of cases is taken up. Under
the law the appropriation for the
payment of Mexican pensions, &c.
100000 in all, is only available until
June 80. 1888. After that time any
portion remaining unexpended must
be covered back into the treasury.
The strong possibility is. therefore,
that the most of it will 60 back, and
the bulk of the Mexican pensioners
will have to trust to the chances of
getting another appropriation from
Congress.

Not Encouraging to Democrats.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
Forty-seventh Congress consisted of
293 members and was the last that
met under the apportionment of the
census of 1870. It had 157 Republic
cans and 1876 Democrats, Republican
majority of 81. The Forty-eigth Con-
gress met under the apportionment
of the census of 1880 with 1926 men,
bers. 200 of whom were Democrats
and 125 Republicans. a Democratic
majority offs. The Forty-ninth Con-
gress. which has just adjourned, had
1876 Democrats and lao Republicans.

Fiftieth Congress will have ITO Dem.

Democratic majority. The falling

FOrty-eighth Congress is so votes. A
continuation of this reduction will

The Forty-fourth Congress, the
hrst that had Democratic majority
since the Thirty-sixth Congress, met

as large as the Republican majority
had been in the previous Congress.
when they had two-thirds of the
members. The Democrats held on
